A Minister's Wife July 18, 2009

Reverend James Morell and his wife, Candida, are happily married--at least so they think. But when Eugene Marchbanks, a romantic young poet aims to rescue Candida from the "tedium" of her domestic routine, everyone's world is turned upside down. This world premiere musical is adapted from George Bernard Shaw's 'Candida' by Austin Pendleton with lyrics by Jan Tranen and music by Josh Schmidt, the highly acclaimed and award-winning composer of 'Adding Machine.' Sharp, witty and tender, 'A Minister's Wife' explores the fires burning beneath the surface of an ordinary marriage and discovers a secret in the heart.
